Russell King b7f41a7ad4 ARM: kexec: fix oops after TLB are invalidated
[ Upstream commit 4d62e81b60d4025e2dfcd5ea531cc1394ce9226f ]

Giancarlo Ferrari reports the following oops while trying to use kexec:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 80112f38
 pgd = fd7ef03e
 [80112f38] *pgd=0001141e(bad)
 Internal error: Oops: 80d [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
 ...

This is caused by machine_kexec() trying to set the kernel text to be
read/write, so it can poke values into the relocation code before
copying it - and an interrupt occuring which changes the page tables.
The subsequent writes then hit read-only sections that trigger a
data abort resulting in the above oops.

Fix this by copying the relocation code, and then writing the variables
into the destination, thereby avoiding the need to make the kernel text
read/write.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
